Environment - March 2007

Did anybody watch the show on Channel 4 last night? What did you think? How does it compare to Al Gore's film?

Does anybody out there have anything useful to contribute to the debate? What is global warming and is it caused by/exasperated by human activity?

Please include your relevant qualifications with your sources.

And please, as this is an emotionally charged subject, no name calling!

I see no evidence to support global warming and I have read many papers on this psuedo science. Carbon does not affect the climate. Volcanos give off a 1000 times more carbon than humans .

If you know of a site that offers this information, that would be helpful. I've searched many places but have been unable to find this information. When I say various objects I mean stuff that is regularly thrown away and dumped in a landfill.

We buy lots of products in packaging that could be returned to supermarkets to be reused. For example: Wine bottles and Plastic water bottles. Surely having to recycle costs more and uses more energy than cleaning and reusing? Should more items that need packaging be packed in something that can be reused rather recycled?
i remember going to a supermarket in Denmark (many years ago), where you could return wine bottles you bought there, and received a little bit of money back for doing so. you have use of the bottle but pay a deposit.
Does this system work? If so, why hasn't it been adopted everywhere?

Assume my equipment and I have a combined mass of 115 kg. And I go for a hike starting at Yosemite Valley (elevation = 1219 meters) and I walk up to the top of Half Dome (elevation = 2694 meters). What is my change in gravitational potential energy? If this hike-climb takes 7 hours, what is my average power output?

I know that I can measure the temperature inside the water flow and the outside air temp. How can I calculate flow, efficiency and above all how good it will be at heating my home?

If you are on the Global Warming bandwagon, I hope you don't eat meat. Unless you are a hypocrite.

In its recent report “Livestock’s Long Shadow—Environmental Issues and Options,” the United Nations determined that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined.

discussed how economics plays a role in determining how many and what type of environmental laws are passed. Conduct some research on one environmental law and complete the following:here are hundreds of environmental laws/acts so there is no need to repeat a posting on a law/act that someone already did.


Give a description of your law. Including date the law was passed and any background information that you can find on why this law was passed (what spurred the law).
Do you feel that this particular environmental law outweighs the costs?
Has this environmental law improved the environment/situation?

If you were a Federal (US) government secretary (maybe the EPA director?) or a delegate to the United Nations in charge of doing something about either global warming or the decline of worldwide biodiversity, what would be your recommendations? In your position paper, take a clear stance, supported by evidence that either confirms or questions the importance or urgency of this global issue. Using this evidence, clearly define the background of the issue and your positions. Are there impacts if action is not taken? Then make recommendations about how to proceed to address this global issue. What policies would you implement? Why? Are there impacts if action is not taken? Explain.
In this assignment you actually get to choose whether you want to report on global warming OR the decline of biodiversity. Please DO NOT DO BOTH.

I would like to see enough information concerning global warming or biodiversity that demonstrates that you fully understand what global warming/biodiversity is, what causes it, and what the potential consequences are.

Why was Occidental Petroleum (Hooker Chemical) held liable for the Love Canal cleanup given that they:

1. Made reasonable attempts to inform everyone that toxic waste was buried there.
2. Took steps to contain the waste that were well above the standards of the time.
3. Acted in good faith (when compared to the other parties such as the School Board and the City).

It seems as if they were tried and convicted in the court of public opinion

It is generally believed that tree planting takes care of global warming problems.But recent researches proved that more tree planting means more production of methane which is also a green house gas. Which is true? and how?

what would it be like to live in an uninhabited place, such as a remote island, describe what you think your life would be like on an uninhabited island. How you would go about getting food, clothing, and shelter needed to survive.

and about 300 hundreds years worth of "pollution" is going to destroy it? Am I the only one who thinks this is bogus? Okay you say the earth is getting hotter, but surely it shouldn't be such a scare due to the fact that at one point this planet was supposedly a big block of ice that melted--without any of our help nonetheless.

Scientists are playing with your minds people.
